The Union University School of Nursing offers its program leading to the Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (Basic BSN track and RN to BSN track). The RN to BSN track for
Registered Nurses is offered on both the Jackson and Germantown Campuses. The program
is approved by the Tennessee Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission
on Collegiate Nursing Education. CCNE may be contacted at One Dupont Circle,
NW Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120 or 202-887-6791.
The School of Nursing encourages the educational mobility of registered nurses holding
the associate degree or diploma in nursing. All registered nurse students take NUR
333 upon entering the B.S.N. program. Upon successful completion of NUR 333, the
student is awarded 37 hours of Nursing credit.
The University shares articulation agreements with area colleges (Jackson State Community
College, Dyersburg State Community College, Northeast Mississippi Community
College, Northwest Mississippi Community College, Southwest Tennessee Community
College, University of Memphis) for the purpose of accommodating the learning
needs of students while minimizing the repetition of non-nursing learning experiences.
RN to BSN students are strongly encouraged to hold membership in the Tennessee
Nurses Association (TNA).
